E FLAT PHRYGIAN MODE

‘E flat phrygian’ is the 3rd mode of the C flat major scale. The notes in Eb Phrygian are:

Eb – Fb – Gb – Ab – Bb – Cb – Db

If you have read the post on understanding the phrygian mode, you will know that the phrygian mode contains a ‘flat 2’, a ‘flat 3’, a ‘flat 6’ and a ‘flat 7’ (parallel approach). You will also know that it is the 3rd mode of a major scale (derivative approach). Let’s briefly look at how to construct Eb Phrygian using both the parallel approach and the derivative approach.
